this is my week of missing fields. I had a plugin that was using a post-entity image on creation in crm2011. After moving it to 2013 a lookup field is going missing, causing the plugin to fail. I tried to add remove other fields in the image, some are coming across, while some others are not (it doesn't matter if those fields are custom or default they have the same behaviour). Does anyone faced this issue?
Sorry for the question, looks like in 2013, on creation if the field is not on the form (I had a reference in the header), the post image will not contain the actual field value.

In what property can I safely store a custom ID in a PDF Form Field?
https://apireference.aspose.com/net/pdf/aspose.pdf.forms/field
I was thinking maybe "AlternateName" but that is what adobe using for tool tips when hovering over the field. "MappingName" is another one I was thinking might work.
Seems crazy that adobe created this spec without giving each field it's own unique ID in the first place.
I have created a report with several related tables and a couple of charts. It looks good in Visual Studio and exports PDF fine but when I deploy to Report Manager and export to PDF, the headers don't appear on subsequent pages and the first row is expanded as if it were the header. Also, rows with long names do not expand the rows as they should.
Has anyone had this issue and/or know how to fix it?
I thought I was done with this report until I tried exporting from Report Manager.
Apparently the issue is due to using CanGrow for cells in a tablix exported to PDF.
I had tried changing every other property to get it to work then a co-worker said to change the CanGrow to False. Amazingly it worked! There were no more jacked up first row and the headers magically started repeating.
As you can see on the below image everything looks fine on PDF but on Web Viewer/Preview the numbers are not aligned nicely.
I don't understand this ... what can I do to display the numbers like in PDF form? FYI this is a column of a row of a table and the content is a 1x2 Grid, has two data elements one in 1st column other in 2nd column. Both data elements are right aligned. I tried to fix this problem with padding the first element 30 from left but didn't help. I would be glad for your tips!
The Previewer tends to offer less then optimally formated or fully functional design. Open the report in the format/tool that will be used in the final delivery for true testing durring design. Personally I have Apache on my test server and do all of my preview testing as a web page.
Edit based on comments
I don't recall ever seeing anything like this occur. If you create a new report using the sample data base, do you get the same issue? If no, then you have something off on this report, it might be easier to create a fresh report, without the issue. If yes can post your report with example data at http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/forum/2-designing-birt-reports/ so others can see if they see the same issue.
I am having a really weird issue with a report built in SSRS 2008. When the report is set to export as a PDF, all data fields are showing up properly on each page as intended. However when the report is run in BIDS mode or exported to Word/CSV/Excel formats there are several data fields that show up as a blank.
One weird thing Ive noticed is that if I set the data fields that are missing as First(Fields!datafield.value) instead of Fields!Datafield.value then they will show up.
Has anyone ever seen any instances of this happening or have any ideas how to correct this issue without redoing the report? I can include the .rdl file if that would help.
Thanks!
I've seen something similar when coloring fonts. The pdf export didn't pick up all the formatting. Check to make sure that your visibility and color settings for the fields in question are what you expect. Try setting those all to default to see if that fixes the issue.
I created an RDLC report (based on a stored procedure) that contains lists. I need to display data from one of those lists in the report footer across every page. However this data only shows in a list on the first page, so that is the only page on which it shows in the footer also. I’ve researched this but haven’t found much information. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Something you can try, don't know for sure if it will work. Create a formula that returns the data you want to display, then put the formula field on a text area in the footer.
I ended up placing a textbox in the second page area, setting the text color to white and sending it to the back. If I hid the textbox (or table - I tried that too), the footer object could not reference it. So, setting the text color to white and placing it behind another object worked. It seems like this is a kludgy way to do a simple report operation but is apparently necessary.
